I'm showing 170 left as of 15 seconds ago!

~94 to go, so maybe in the hour or two.

I'm betting within the next 30min. It's going to go fast!

When did we hit 1, 2, and 3 million?

At 09:40 pm EST, still ~50 to go, so perhaps within the next 30 to 50 min.

The rate is about 1-2 posts/min with occasional spurts.

I thought the Random Thoughts thread had more posts. Oh yeah, the random thoughts thread has thousands more posts than the fukushima thread.

What is going on?

It does, but Random Thoughts started ~ 18 months (Sep17-09) before Fukushima, and activity only picking up after the Fukushima event.

Random Thoughts also has a lot of noise as opposed to substantive technical content.

When it started doesn't matter, it's the overall contribution to the post count that matters, Random Thoughts has contributed more posts than a natural disaster.

Top 5 posters:

rootX 1,732
HeLiXe 1,518
turbo 1,308
Evo 1,180
lisab 1,125

Views per post is another important metric.


and about 25 to go - unless we starting deleting some of the noise.

Isn't most of the Japan thread just copies of the news and other announcements? You are really touchy about that Japan earthquake thread. This thread is about the number of posts.

I don't think we are debating quality of posts, just quantity. However, the Japan threads have gotten a lot of respect around the web.

 

[Evo]

Fourteen posts!

Actually, it's a compilation with some analysis, and it is probably the most complete record of the event on the internet. Note that we had to split off topics into three or 4 other threads, and unfortunately, we lost the other large thread on Unit 3's explosion.

I don't need to be Mr 4M, but it's neat to watch the countdown.

No one cares, this is about the 4 millionth post.

 

[Evo]

Congrats Anti!

 

[lisab]

Two contests! The member with the 4,000,000th post and the member who can screenshot the stat ticker at 4,000,000 will get 6 months Gold membership. No Photoshop people! :D

WE DID IT!

YAY congrats!

 

[ZapperZ]

That's funny. I don't feel any older...

I already have two gold memberships though, so can I donate this to somebody?

Greg, did you ever in your dreams imagine PF would reach 4 million posts and half a million threads when you started it?

When I started PF, all I cared about was getting that extra credit to pass my physics course :D PF's success is shared by many people! I just push buttons back here. Usually the wrong ones! :D

Well, congrats boss! You've created a legacy.
